From the period around the middle of the 19th century, this includes the following documents: book of houses in the Jewish community in Hranice (1792-1885), book of seats in the synagogue (1806-1874), book of transfer of seats in the synagogue (1806-1860); infirmaries, educational, foundation and poor matters in the Jewish community (1847-1850); review of the assets of the Jewish community (1847-1849); acceptance of foreign Jews into the community and their registration (1847-1849); land in the town and Jewish Community (1837-1859). The fonds also contains older documents relating to Jewish history.
- Archival history:
- Documents of Hranice Manor Estate were stored together with documents of the separate Lipník Manor Estate at the chateau in Lipník nad Bečvou. In 1947, all of them were taken to the newly established Agricultural and Forestry Archives in Nové Zámky near Litovel. In 1953, the fonds was transferred to Janovice near Rýmařov. The fonds was arranged in 1960. In 2000, the fonds was moved from Janovice to the Olomouc branch of the Provincial Archives in Opava.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Hranice Manor was managed in the 17th and start of the 18th century by the District Head together with his office; a manorial office was subsequently established. Hranice Manor came under the Central Directorate of Dietrichstein Estates and the main accounting department, the same as for other Dietrichstein manors. In the first half of the 19th century, the manor was managed by the director and later again the senior official. In 1867, administration of the Hranice and Lipník Manor Estates was merged.
